Acclaimed Cuban outfit Irakere make a triumphant return to Ronnie Scott’s to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
One of the most influential groups in Latin jazz, the 11-piece are known for their irrepressible energy and innovative approach, blending traditional Cuban folk songs and Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz, rock and funk, and for cranking out fiendishly complex, but thrillingly danceable grooves, with help from a thunderous array of percussion instruments.
Led by piano virtuoso and Cuban master Chucho Valdés, Irakere was a rite of passage for many of the greatest Cuban musicians of the past few decades, including trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera.
The band’s packed-out shows at Ronnie’s back in the 1980s are the stuff of legend and it’s fitting that they should choose the venue as the place to mark their 40th. Grab a ticket, order a mojito from the bar and join the party.

    What the critics say

    THE GUARDIAN

    "Valdes' every dancing intro, incisive fill and storming chordal eruption on piano is always irresistable... one of jazz piano's most majestic virtuosos."

    John Fordham

    NEW YORK TIMES

    "A pianist of imperial command, possessed of a dazzling, deceptively casual virtuosity."

    Nate Chinen

    Practical

    VENUE

    The UK’s best known jazz club, Ronnie Scott’s in Soho is decked out like US venues of old, with plush seating, booths and brass rails. A must for any music fan, it’s the perfect setting in which to watch the great and good of the jazz world do their stuff. As you’d expect from a Jazz Club of its calibre, Ronnie Scott’s keeps a well stocked bar and does an excellent line in cocktails. The espresso martini is legendary and a godsend in the early hours of the morning.

  • Xu

    Xu has it all. It looks good enough to eat, the menu is thrilling and they're to be applauded for bringing proper Taiwanese dining to London. The service is beautifully judged and well informed. The only challenge may be getting a reservation, as almost all the critics love it.

  • Temper

    The brilliant thing about Temper is its focus is on avoiding waste: beef fat is used for homemade tortillas and butter, whilst broth is made using bones. There's also a big emphasis on working with whole animals and rare-breeds such as Beer Fed Dexter, Longhorn and Highland Beef.
